Abstract: A review on icing physics, ice detection, antiicing and deicing techniques for wind turbines in cold climate has been performed. Typical physical properties of atmospheric icing and the corresponding meteorological parameters ...

Abstract: Control of heat transfer is important in wind power systems. In cold climate, the problems of icing and de-icing of the turbine blades need to be handled by efficient heat transfer technologies. Heat-generating components ...

Abstract: Experimental singlephase, condensation, and evaporation (flow boiling) pressure drop data from the literature and our previous studies were collected to evaluate previous frictional pressure drop correlations for horizontal ...

Abstract: Flowpattern based heat transfer correlations for elongated bubbly flow and annular flow in stable flow boiling micro/minichannels were developed separately based on a collected micro/minichannel heattransfer database by ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was performed for convective condensation of R410A inside one smooth tube (3.78 mm, inner diameter) and six microfin tubes (4.54, 4.6 and 8.98 mm, fin root diameter) of different geometries ...

Abstract: The present study collected and analyzed flow boiling data points which fall in the annular flow regime with an increasing heat transfer coefficient h vapor quality x trend (h increases with increasing x) in small diameter ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic cavitation that occurs inside valves not only increases the energy consumption burden of the whole piping system but also leads to severe damages to the valve body and the piping system with a large economic ...

Abstract: Slug flow is a common flow pattern in the liquid–liquid two-phase flow in microchannels. It is an ideal pattern for mass transfer enhancement. Many factors influence the slug formation such as the channel geometries (channel ...
